Suggestions from Google search engine are in Amharic characters, although I'm from Romania and I have all settings on my PC to en-US.

All Regional&Language settings are set to en-US, but for the last month or so I keep getting suggestions from Google search engine in Amharic characters (Ethiopian language). I tried restoring default, removing and adding a new Google default search engine, changing Regional&Language setting on PC and Firefox but nothing works. Here is a print screen: http://oi50.tinypic.com/m8nx34.jpg All the other search engines work fine.

I want it to show suggestions in english. How do I fix it?
